Joseph Keiss of Nordmont, killed eight phfeasauts, one day last week. Who of our sportsmen can beat this in one day's hunt ? Our ambitious young men and lady readers should address the Lowell Business College, of Bing hamton, and learn how good posi tions may be secured. A leading physician of Philadel phia. warns his patients against eat ing potatoes which show the least particle of rot. If rot shows itself tlie potato is affected all over. Remember, the doings on Thanks giving, is to help defray the ex peiißes cf repairing instruments of the band. Come and have a good time and help pay the bill: The courts of Bradford county revoked the license of the Geary Hotel, at Wvalusing, for violation of the liquor law and now that pleas ant little village by the eca shore, is without a license. The Chattanoga woman, who was for years a valued employe iu the oiHce of a t.iad6 paper, is in jail for forgery. And yet some people con tend that woinen are incapable of learning busiuess ways.

Chas. Wall who murdered his wife in Centermoreland twp., Wyoming County, was found guilty of murder in the first degree in the Tunkhan nock courts, on Friday the 13th.

Jacob Lorah Esq., of Sonestown, has recently rented a store room at Central, Columbia county, : and has stocked the same with a goodly supply of merchantable goods. Central is no doubt a good location for a store, and it is generally be lieved that Mr. Liorah wit] make a success of his undertaking. Dr. W. R. Sine, dentist of Williams port, came ap Monday evening and is affording many of our people much relief. All work done by Dr. Sine so far has given the best of satisfaction. Now is the proper time for LaPorte people to apply if they desire dental work done. The Doc will be here Until Saturday morning. He is located at the LaPorte Hotel. Ghargea reasonable. Onr job department was more than crowded, with work, last week.

The boys will spare no pains to make this one of the most enjoy able events ot* the season. Every body is conilally invited to partici pate both day and night. For further particulars see hand bill. Herbert barwin Spencer, wlio is confined in the Lycoming county jail, charged with horse steal ing, made an unsuccessful attempt at B-iicide on Thursday morning Nov. 12. He took the bandage off the arm in which he was shot when captured in Snyder county, and, making a noose of it, adjusted it around his neck, tying one end of it to the bars in the cell. He dropped from a chair, but it was discovered by the attendants . before he had been hanging very long. He re sisted and was very angry that his life had been saved. The people in the vicinity of the Wm. E- King district in LaPorte twp., was very much excited over the appearance, of what was sup posed to be a very large black bear, one day last week. A large number of farmers got together with their guns and dogs and started in pur suit of the animal. The dogs took the track and after giving it a half [lay's chase brought it around to one of the hunters who discovered the would be bear, to be one of his own black sheep. It is needless to ?ay that the chase came to a sudden bait. Our sportsmen enjoyed a rabbit chase, on Monday. The little gray fellow was let go near the black smith shop and Doc. Hill's pup was to treejt. The dog failed, however, to give chase and all hands banged away at the poor little iunoccnt nniinal. The little fellow proved too much for our crack shots, however, nnd ran up Main street and aeross the Court House square and took to the woods near Lake Mokoma. The log at the report of the gun, placed lis tail between iiis |le£s, and took leg bail for home, hence the excite- ' intent of the day, was vsfy much 1 limited. Doc would like to ex- 1 change this pup for a rooster. The extra session was an expen sive campaign document. It was intended to carry the State for the Democrats, and as the Democrats were short of money they hit upon the expedient of miking the tax pavers foot the bills for the cam paign. The bills wiUhaveto lie met —something like $50,000 of them— but naturally the campaign fireworks wouldn't go off. They were uncon stitutional fireworks, and that is what's the matter. The Senators draw SSOO each for their services, which consisted of listening to the same testimony that was already oil record There is the brand new Senator from Chester county, lie turned up for duty on Wednesday and adjourned sine die with his brethren on Thursday. Salary, SSOO. He is a Democrat. It will be noticed that the council proceedings published else where iu the HEPUBLICAN speaks of a petition being presented to the coun cil praying for the repairing of side walks iu our Boro., but fails to mention the fact that this same petition also requested that certain crossings be repaired and es pecially the one on Meylert St., at the South West corrt'er of the Court House square. It would seem that the council are anxious for property owners to make repairs on Bidewalks, but fail to order done thpt which is most essential to the public. With this work neglected, how can they expect individuals to do tlfeir part. The town council should set the example. We might say they have and the people are following suit. The side walks are much neglected and unless these Lbree crossings, viz: Two on King St., one at or near the Cemetery and the other near the Presbyterian church and the third, the one spoken of in the petition, are uot repaired between now mm the 14th of next month, we shall make out the neces sary papers and place them in the constable's hands to be returned" At aourt.

Down in Motgomery the people are quite excited over the finding of ladies clothing in a field along the river hank, recently, covered with blood. The stains are thought to lie human blood and an investiga tion committee is in progress look ing up the mystery. ■ «■!. STYLES FOR ELSCIION FJRN|. TUhE. They Will Be Discussed at Har: isbarg cn November 28. William F. llarrlty, Secretary of the Commonwealth: Thomas J. Stewart, Secretary of Internal Af- 1 lairs, and Thomas McCament, Audi tor-General, the board appointed to decide upon the patterns of shelves or compartments and guard rails anil other furniture and apparatus for conducting elections under the Baker Bill, will hold an open session : in the Supreme Court roc'm at the Capitol on Wednesday, November 25, from 10 a. m.to 2p. m. This! meeting will be held for the purpose of examining and inspecting such styles as may be submitted In fi circular letter issued re cently the board says:"lt is thought proper to request (bounty Commissioners to immediate ly take such steps as may be neces sary to bring to the attention of the Court of Quarter Sessions the im portance of dividing election dis tricts wherever the convenience of the electors and the public interests will be promoted thereby. The Constitution requires that in Phila delphia, Pittsburg and Allegheny City election districts shall lie di vided whenever at the next preced ing election more than 250 votes shall have been polled therein. It is i especially important that the di-! vision of election districts shall be made as promptly as possible, as County Commissioners will be re quired to send to the Auditor-Gener al a statement of the voting places in the county, naming them, and of the numlter of shelves or compart-1 ments provided for each. Election districts containing 250 voters will i require five voting shelved or com- j partments." Stteby, of the Dusnore Gazette, is a sharp shooter and he hit us pret ty hard hist week; here is one of his bright sayings, that the Republicans of Pennsylvania were going up Salt River instead of the Democrats and that he knew who the captain of our boat would be, but would'nt tell us. Will some of our Dushore friends please step into the Gazette otlice and inform (leorgie that Pennsyl vania gave Greuu and Morrison 58,431 majority and that these gentlemen were rutining on tho Re publican ticket—When he has learn ed this fact—He will, by a very sharp hint from you, (but no kick,) perceive that we have no use for a captain. While you are thus en gaged, however, of furnishing him with the news, you might mention the fact that the Democratic ma jority in Sullivan county was only 323 at the recent electioh and that last year it was 515, you will then subtract the majority of 1891 from that 6f 1800 and show him what the McKinley bill has done in Little SulHVan. Georgia is a great boy, but he will know more when you have finished with him. The Official Figure®, I Tbe total vote cast in the recent election in Pennsylvania was a good one for an off year. It ran up to 789,624. General Gregg polled 414,583 and Mr. Wright 356,431, a majority for Gregg over Wright of 58,431. Morrison polled 412,594 and Tilden 358,618. Morrison ran but 1,689 votes behind Gregg. This was the extent of the cut that at one time was feared would amount to something large. The Republican managers at head quarters never believed that Gregg was in tbe slightest danger, but it was impossible to gauge the Mor rison defection. The reason for this was that no one could estimate the Farmers' Alliance vote. It was very well Understood that while the Alliance had no intention of oppos ing Gregg, there was a strong effort on foot to secure the support of Tilden oh the plea that he was a farmer. The Alliance is secret in its movements, and it is eas}' for it to take positive action within the walls and to keep this action secret. It was impossible to get at the strength of the Alliance, but the de tails of the returns show that t'ie Republicans had nothing to fear. Its followers are mostly Republicans or else there number is small and not a factor in politics. The pro hibition vote passed nearly out of sight. It amounted to but 18,500. Our readers will perceive by this, that we were misinformed last week in our statement in reference to the Prohi party having the necessary , vote to place a ticket in the field next year, or three per cent of all ' thf votes cast. We got our infor mation of the I'eople] that leading! Prohibition paper published in 1 Scran toil, and edited by Tallic Mor gan. Three per cent of all the votei cast in the State, is 23,685, hence, they fall short over 5,000 votes.
